Acting As Trustee: Understanding The Trust Administration Process in Buena Park, CA

Being named as trustee in a trust document bestows you with a unique opportunity: the ability to carry out your loved one’s wishes. However, this task is not without legal responsibilities and fiduciary duties. Additionally, while most trusts are privately administered, some trusts may be Court-supervised. Our Buena Park Trust Administration lawyers are skilled at representing trustees of trusts under both circumstances.

Whether you were named to serve as the trustee of a loved one’s trust, or your spouse has recently passed and you need to fund your sub-trusts, contact our offices today to ensure you are meeting your legal responsibilities and properly carrying out the terms of the trust.
